Triangle Green Home Tour Coming Soon!

The 4th Annual Green Home Tour has been expanded to two weekends in 2009: Apr 25-26 and May 2-3. This free, self-guided event will feature 36 entries in six counties.

Briar Chapel Townhomes Now Underway

McNeill-Burbank has broken ground on their much-anticipated townhomes near the pool! The first of these units will be ready this summer, and each will have a master bedroom on the main floor with direct access to a private courtyard. They come in sizes ranging from 1925-2500 sqft, and are available in 3/4-bedroom, 2.5/3.5-bath configurations. Basements are also available.

Priced from the mid-$200s to high-$300s, these townhomes are sure to be popular with those looking for maintenance-free living in Briar Chapel. If interested, please contact me so that I can tell you about the current incentives being offered and setup a meeting to view floor plans.
